I'm the diamond

I'm a rock.
Go ahead and sear me.
I won’t budge an inch.
Because I’m a rock.
Go ahead and beat me up.
I’m a solid rock.
Go ahead and leave me in darkness.
I’m a rock that will shine all alone.
I don’t break, ash,
nor decay as I go against nature’s way.
I survive.
I’m…
I’m diamond.

南加州的落英时节，给疫情抹上一股忧郁！
“The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year. Of wailing winds, and naked woods and meadows brown and sear. “
忧郁的日子到来了，这是一年中最让人忧伤的日子，是呜咽的风、光秃的林，以及焦褐草地唱出的最悲伤的一段。”——William C. Bryant（美国浪漫主义诗人）

满庭芳

宋 秦观

山抹微云，
天连衰草，
画角声断谯门。
暂停征棹，
聊共引离尊。
多少蓬莱旧事，
空回首、
烟霭纷纷。
斜阳外，
寒鸦万点，
流水绕孤村。

消魂当此际，
香囊暗解，
罗带轻分。
谩赢得青楼薄幸名存。
此去何时见也？
襟袖上、
空惹啼痕。
伤情处，
高城望断，
灯火已黄昏。

The Court Full of Fragrance

The hills see thin clouds pass;
The sky borders sear grass.
O’er Town Gate conk sound on and off does go.
I now stop the canoe;
To each other we toast adieu.
How many rosy hours bewitch you?
As in vain I gaze,
All around it is haze.
West of afterglow
Myriads of crows crow
Round the village a stream does flow.

My rues go with my sweet romance;
I drop my sac in trance,
A sign of whimsy prance.
The Rose Tower fame I have gained in vain, vainly won;
When can we meet now from you I’m gone?
My lappet and sleeves,
A sign of how she grieves.
With a saddened frown,
A gaze on the high town
Finds all lamplights in dusk drown.
